I spent the morning reading emails from readers who are scared and worried about the state of the world and I could certainly relate. We’ve entered territory that is no longer about politics; it’s about our humanity and how we will or will not survive these unprecedented times.

I have faith we will survive.

After watching the news about the continuing cruelty and chaos in Minnesota, other states, as well as in Iran, I was left feeling enraged and hopeless. What could I possibly say in a blog that would be helpful when I feel like so many of you – overwhelmed, furious, and unsure of what to do beyond making phone calls, sending emails, and protesting the injustice of it all.

After a few attempts at a blog, I shut my laptop, went down to the basement, and out the back door. I lifted the cover from my cold tub, cracked the thick ice, and put my butt in the tank in the middle of a snowstorm. Then, after yelling into the wind, I got out, danced for fifteen minutes to warm myself up, and went back to work.

I mentioned during last week’s Zoom gathering that I was reading Dan Brown’s new novel, The Secret of Secrets, about consciousness and how, as humans, we may be connected through a vast informational field. In this collective field, our individual actions affect the greater whole. Having followed noetic science for decades, I was excited to see him weave this cutting-edge research into his story.

The study of consciousness as a field of energy that exists outside the human body has led me to think of humanity as an organism made up of individual cells (each one of us). The organism is always in motion, evolving or moving toward its demise depending on the behavior of its cells. Each one of us can either be a regenerative or a degenerative cell.

The monks who are walking more than 2000 miles for peace are the life-giving cells helping to heal the organism. The person buying food for a frightened neighbor is too. Experts on social media offering advice to help us cope and regulate our nervous systems are regenerative cells as well.

We need more healthy cell action and once I snapped myself out of hopelessness, I went back to my computer and to the emails I had read earlier. I chose people who were struggling and recorded personal voice memos for each one. I told them I loved them, they weren’t alone, and that we’d get through this dark time together. I intend to do more to intentionally spread love and healing every single day.

You might choose to regulate your nervous system so you don’t snap at your partner or kids, call a friend who’s having a tough time and offer comfort, or shovel someone’s driveway, now that much of the country is getting snow.

I’m not sure that small acts of kindness here and there are enough anymore. We need a revolution of love with members finding ways every day to be the regenerative cells that flood the system with strong immunity that eliminates rogue cells.

How will I help heal the organism today? This question will become my daily practice and I invite you to join me for more ideas this week during a Zoom gathering I’m calling: “The Regenerative Cells Club.” We’ll meet on Wednesday (1/28) at 3pm ET/12 noon PT and you’ll receive the invite if you’ve been with us before. If not, you can register here. I’d love to have you join us!

Love,

Cheryl
